Apropos of the segment title, a large part of WNPR's broadcast of it was pre-empted by a National Weather Service Severe Thunderstorm Watch advisory. Having seen War of the Worlds, where Tom Cruise listens to an EBS test during a Martian attack, I appreciate that some stations are returning to the business of keeping audiences aware of local emergencies.
